Desire

When the rain does splatter,
When the drops pitter-patter,
Take me away to a place,
Where no one will ever matter.

How I had wished to be alone,
Neither a whisper nor a moan,
Farther and farther than a milestone,
Where bonds the sun, earth and horizon.

But those inside my head, the demons,
Of treachery and prohibited legions,
Tie me to the past and the present,
For future they have no reasons.

All I desire is to break strings that bind me,
Finish the spider and web that accompany.
All I desire is to sprout wings and fly high,
Reach where the orange colors the blue sky.

Just call me Angel, every morning Angel...

Today, sitting in Audi 09 of PVR at Forum Bengaluru, and watching Saif bowling all so cheesy comments at Kareena (which she was actually batting to... and surprisingly well enough), I wondered what does a guy need to do in order to woo a girl. About 3 years ago, I had posted “How to look at a guy in 8 ways!” and had got good enough queries from all my friends of not so fair gender for delivering a KT session (knowledge transition – a famous term in the IT sector). After lots and lots of pondering, even after having a “Girls are NOT dumb” kind of session with Apoorv, I never was able to actually figure out a good and well planned manner that one can execute? Probably because I have never ever felt like wooing a girl and also never got a chance to break hearts. I can never bring up a plan guaranteeing a 100% success like the one of SRK – “6 din and ladki in”! (Ohh well I had to mention KHNH, after all it was a KJo movie that triggered this thought process, and well all KJo movies are usually kind of cheesy)!

Looking around I find all my friends, some in knee deep and some in above the danger level ocean of mushy gushy love. And in fact not just me, even if you pause for a second and look around you, you’ll definitely find the life size couples from Eric Seagal’s Love Story or to relate it to the today’s junta Chetan Bhagat’s 2 states (I hear people are relating it to their very own lives and love lives). Anyways, coming back to the topic, when I go through the ways in which the couples around me came together, I do find a variety and an inconsistency in the behaviours. But again, there are actually some things absolutely common and so to be on a safer side and also to maintain your interest in the post, I will list them down here.

1. One Love - Tell her that she is the only one and is always going to be. No ogling, bird watching or checking out the other specimens.
2. She is the angel, your darling angel – Remind her that daily, every morning and every night.
3. No chiggy wiggy here – She definitely wants you to be her charming prince, her knight in shining armour. Don’t let her feel as if it is just a fling or else you gonna pay big time (of course I’m talking about the shopping expenses).
4. No cheese or muffin (basically anything high in calories) please – Girls hate that. You don’t ask them for a band aid and then tell them that you fell for them the moment you saw them... it sucks.
5. High maintenance always – You do need to invest, if not money then time for sure. Some would want both while some would be satisfied with either, but then again no pain no gain.
6. Happy B’day my love – Never, never ever forget the Birthday... tie a knot in your handkerchief, enter a reminder in your cellphone or make your sister remind you, but do not in any case - not even in 2012, forget the day she came down on earth and that too just for you.

All this and I’m sure you will be able to sail through the whole Pacific Ocean yourself. I’m no Hitch and I definitely don’t host the Ugly Truth, so don’t run and come to me for any advice in case anything goes wrong... which I’m sure will definitely do (it always does)... just learn from your mistakes and try never repeating them again.

Love...

Sarah Jessica Parker had to think about the three dots that follow this word but unlike her, this special four-letter word is still a mystery to me. It is something that I dread something that I am scared of, something I get nightmares of... and hey-hey do I hear you say Freak!! Well whatever you may call me the truth is that it sure is intimidating.

What the heck is love? Why does it make such a difference if you are not into it? When will people stop telling you that it is the most important part of your life? How do you tell them to stop doing that? Who is there who never ever speaks about it? Where should I go to find answers to all of these?

See for yourself the effect of this lunatic thing on my sane state of mind. A thing which can bring out all 6 words of question (What-Why-When-How-Who-Where) at the same time. I am surprised at the way people behave when they are in it. I can not understand when they say it makes you blind and your heart is not in your control. If it actually does all that then isn't it a disease and one should eradicate it from scratch? Then why in the sweet name of Lord people don't find a vaccination for it?

All this and I guess I already know the answer to this. I muse over the fact that I have known the answer about all this crap since the very start. It is because we have been born with it as an inbuilt defect in our system. You can try a lot to shake it away and tear it apart from yourself but you see you can not.

Now, I know this that this post of mine will be branded stupid, naive, amateurish and many more things. People might even argue over it. But as always I don't care. I don't give a damn to what people think. You see, after a long long time I got something to write about and I couldn't have given away the chance to write. Not even after spending 10 tiring hours at office. Thanks to Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes and Samantha Jones to bring me back.

So it is L.O.V.E and what do I hear goodfellas - L is for the way you Look at me... music notes...
